She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

Chapter 511: Chapter 509: Speculative Glances Chapter 511: Chapter 509: Speculative Glances Ye Xinyan had already started walking back, and Jiang Yifan had no choice but to follow. He was still trying to grasp and digest that ethereal, miraculous world Ye Xinyan had mentioned, pondering whether it was the Immortal Realm of legends, when Ye Xinyan threw him back into reality with her very substantial question.

Jiang Yifan was genuinely stunned for a moment, listened to Ye Xinyan repeat the question, then gathered his thoughts before shaking his head and answering, “This place falls under the jurisdiction of Pingshui County, essentially bordering Qingyuan County. Why do you ask about this? As for this area of wild peach trees, they don’t bear peaches. The mature wild peaches are only the size of a thumb, consisting of a shriveled, furry peach skin wrapped around a pit and are inedible.”

Ye Xinyan looked around—this place was indeed quite large and would be a good buy. “Such a vast forest, thriving in this manner, is rare around here. I’m thinking of purchasing this area of wild peach trees and the surrounding land with better soil. The Yamen should be willing to sell, but I wonder how much silver it will cost?”

“This is barren land, and quite far from any inhabited areas, so it shouldn’t cost too much silver,” Jiang Yifan said. “But what do you need such land for? The surrounding soil is very poor and doesn’t hold much agricultural value.”

Pointing at a wild peach tree with a patchy trunk, Ye Xinyan explained, “Not for planting, but for these peach trees. This peach grove formed naturally in the wilderness and may have taken decades or even a century to reach its current size. This saves the effort and time of cultivation. It’s worth it to spend the silver for wasteland on a landscape.”
